The second First Tuesdays visit
to the Capitol took place on March 3; many thanks to the following
individuals who participated: BCMS President Jim Humphreys, MD;
Mark Croley, MD; John Edwards, MD; Theodore Freeman, MD;
Pam Hall, MD; Gabriel Ortiz, MD; Raymond Osbourn, MD;
Ryan Van Ramshorst, MD, and BCMS Alliance President Rebecca
Christopherson.
The group participated in 13
office visits with our elected officials and their staff.
Several participants also stopped by the House Public Health
Committee hearing to listen in on discussions about immunizations,
in addition to signing cards in support of House Bill 465 by Rep.
Donna Howard (D-Austin), which would give families and individuals
the freedom to opt out of the state immunization registry.
In addition, Rep. Diego Bernal
(House Dist 123) and Sen. Jose Menendez (Senate Dist 26) were sworn
in on March 3 and 4, respectively. Bernal assumes former State Rep.
Mike Villarreal's seat, and Sen. Menendez replaces the seat
previously held by Sen. Leticia Van de Putte. Villarreal and Van de
Putte resigned to run for mayor of San Antonio.
Pausing for a photo with
then-Rep. Jose Menendez, now Sen. Menendez, are (from left) Ryan
Van Ramshorst, MD; Mary Nava; Menendez; Raymond Osbourn, MD, and
Pam Hall, MD.
For local discussion on this and other legislative
advocacy topics, consider joining the BCMS Legislative and
Socioeconomics Committee by contacting Mary Nava.
